Acupressure Ring Alleviates Snoring Problems

By applying pressure to the meridian point located on the small finger of the left hand (the heart arm), a flow of energy is cleared, leading from the small finger on the left hand where the ring is worn up to the ear, nose, and throat, aiding in the prevention of snoring.

The Snore Ring comes in four sizes, and is adjustable. Two pressure balls on the ring are designed to place pressure on the underside of the finger, between the knuckle and the first joint. Half an hour before going to bed, the ring is placed onto the small finger of the left hand and adjusted so that there is firm but gentle pressure. Most people will notice an immediate result; however sometimes two to three weeks before a noticeable effect is achieved. If no improvement has occurred during this time, medical problems such as nasal congestion or other medical problems may be interfering with the desired effect. It is not recommended that the Snore Ring be worn for more than 12 hours at a time. The Snore Ring is a product of Anti Snor (Santa Barbara, CA, USA).

Acupressure is a traditional Chinese medicine technique derived from acupuncture. In acupressure physical pressure is applied to acupuncture points by the hand, elbow, or with various devices. Reviews of acupressure clinical trials have been conducted by the Cochrane Collaboration according to the protocols of evidence-based medicine; for most conditions, they have concluded a lack of effectiveness or lack of well-conducted clinical trials. Acupuncture theory predates use of the scientific method, and has received various criticisms based on scientific thinking; there is no known anatomical or histological basis for the existence of acupuncture points or meridians. However, neuroimaging research suggests that certain acupuncture points have distinct effects that are not otherwise predictable anatomically.
